A man takes a picture of a giant "Kuratas" robot at an exhibition in Tokyo. The four-metre-high, limited edition, made-to-order robot is controlled through a pilot in its cockpit, or via a smartphone. The 4,000 kg "Kuratas" can be customised in 16 different colours, and is armed with a futuristic weapons system, including a multi-rocket launcher that fires plastic rockets filled with compressed water.Picture: REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon
